Patrice O'Neal - Pumpsie Green

Patrice O'Neal and Jim Norton in studio, discussing Boston sports which leads to a hilarious conversation about the legendary Pumpsie Green.

[@djdunbargrapes1186]

Pumpsie Green was my mentor, instructing and giving me pointers, not knowing he played pro ball. He taught me the foot drag turning two when I was eight. Outstanding man...

[@sdm1568]

Pumpsie taught me a lot growing up too, he showed me a cool game called monster rain that I could use to stand out and make friends amongst my peer group. He was a good man, that pumpsie. May he rest in peace 🙏

The NHL is celebrating Willie O'Ree on MLK day and I could not help but think of this clip. RIP Patrice O'Neal.

[@bigmus]

God bless Willie O'Ree, the toughest man to ever have lived

[@ChiTownOriginator]

Willie O'Ree the toughest man to ever live had me dying

[@chemccord]

Boston is probably the only major city that when ppl say is racist as hell no1 even questions it.

[@V4Now]

You know you're doing something wrong when Patrice thinks it's too far😂

[@DrGanja99]

The Atlanta Moors would kill

[@JFlukejr]

DrGanja99 someone might find that offensive huh

[@DrGanja99]

Jason Fluker everything is offensive nowadays

[@sdm1568]

That would go hard af forreal tho

I love it when Patrice talked about Boston sports, he would unload with a lifetime of knowledge & anecdotes.

Bonethugs90 wasn’t even his line. It came off one of his little monitors.

And delivered it with no energy, and it wasn’t a football related pun, Opie stinks.

[@connorfernandes2]

That wasn’t him

[@williamcrothers1060]

Bosox passed on a 17-year-old Willie Mays they could have had for $4500 in 1949. Imagine how good Mays in Centre and Ted Williams in Right would have been, 2 x All-Time Top 5s for their positions playing at the same time

[@MeneTekelUpharsin]

Interesting. I didn't know that

[@edoe5915]

Too bad Willie was the wrong color right?

[@randalls9822]

So did the Yankees! 18 yr old Willie Mays played in a showcase against a semi pro team managed by an old Yankee scout who literally begged someone to come out and sign Mays before the then NY Giants beat them to it.

[@rawbones4117]

We still wouldn't have won shit. Also Ted wouldn't have been able to handle having someone as great as Willie being on the team at the same time.

[@R3VO7UTION]

Pumpsie, ooooooh chile, that boy could hit!!

[@thepopeofkeke]

45 years and I always thought being called a saltine was odd. You learn something new everyday

[@DRock6906]

@7:57 when he said "Lawrence Taylor Chrysler.. Come take a crack at our prices. We're breaking the legs of high prices." Patrice didn't know the guy's name but it was Joe Theismann of the Washington Redskins who they were talking about. LT broke Joe's leg in a game and ended his career. It was an accident but very brutal just the same.

[@magnuscroify]

Didn't LT also have some issues with crack? Double pun!

On Rt. 9 in Wellesley Massachusetts it's about 2 - 3 mile stretch always Wellesley cop running plates speed gun always at night.

[@antoni.guzman]

Well now they got Gordon Hayward, as Patrice predicted

[@uhurumbuntu2487]

Gordon wanted out. He'd rather play in Charlotte. Kyrie wanted out for the same reasons...

[@kingseanp9267]

I grew up outside Boston but my entire family is from Mission Hill, and I’d be stunned by some of the shit I’d see and hear from them. And that was a relatively mixed neighborhood.

[@heftyhugh9086]

It's because they lived near them. Theres' a reason why property value drops when blacks enter a neighborhood.

[@barzy9725]

I know this is old I wish I could call in. My family Jamaica Plain, South Boston, Dorchester,, Roxbury, Quincy. All card carriers. Me and my family lived with and amongst black white Chinese Latino growing up later Africans, Vietnamese, Muslims. Got along for most part

[@heftyhugh9086]

Sounds awful. I'd rather live around white people.

[@CurtisC685]

Patrice's comment about not being able to resist compulsive behavior and the banana nut muffin taking everything from him hits wicked dark in context

[@OverlordRobot]

Willie O'Ree is stil alive today!!!

[@stargazer4683]

Anyone know the episode were they talk about the first black boston hockey player ?

Lmaaaoooo yooo, now its a reason Boston has Gordon Hayward

[@elcid6301]

He's good but no Bird

[@barzy9725]

I grew in a mixed neighborhood in Boston (Dorchester) it's black white Latino mostly. People have issues and opinions. everyone, but we mostly got along. The blue collar and poor of all races. The racist fucks you are talking about are the Brahman Protestant or lace curtain Irish that owned these teams that live in Wellesley, Auburndale, Newtonville, Brookline etc....far from my neighborhood in many ways. I don't think Boston is the worst racist place. I have been to worse places. There are racists in every group even black, Latino, and Chinese. By the way I am Native AMERICAN. MI KMAQ FIRST NATIONS via Dorchester and South Boston. Everyone can be racists

[@joejosa8985]

Wouldn’t you want to have a team where you have a chance to say “we’re going to beat these devils (rays)? Besides rec weed, Florida sucks.

[@joejosa8985]

This segment was wonderful. All them niggas were racist cause none of them said “I’m happy that my brothers have a opportunity to play like everyone else”. Boston can kick rocks.

[@versatilethearcane]

I don't mind specific tribal mascots with their proper name like the Seminoles, Utes etc....but generic sometimes offensive names like the Redskins, Indians etc I can do without

[@jeffkerr807]

Nobody cares what you think snowflake

[@fraymond3]

Girl...

[@smasher.338]

They changed their name because "devil rays" was a dumb ass name, and represents a sting ray. The new name, the rays, represents sun rays. Which is still stupid, but not as much.

[@MelquanKatz]

I thought the Rays stood for both Ray Charles and Ray Romano.

[@georgeramirezjr1111]

@@MelquanKatz Yeah I heard Rays was short for Ray Ray. Now it makes sense.

[@AndrewBarsky]

From Tampa, do agree. Still stupid, but rays have a spike that killed the croc hunter…. The other baseball team is a fucking fish. So idk
